Prince of the Underworld

Chapter 8

Evie POV

I walked with the others to Uma's ship. "I was really hoping that Haden would be here for this." Jay said. "So did I." I said with a breath. "It's game time." Mal said holding the fake wand. "Let's get one thing straight. Once we have Ben, we get out. Got it?" Mal asked us. The four VKs' and Lonnie nodded in agreement. "Let's do this." Jay stated. "Welcome!" Harry shouted out with open arms. Mal walked towards Uma. "Finally!" Uma exclaimed as she wore a wicked mischievous smile on her face and laughed.

Uma:
🎶Huh, let's get this party started🎶
🎶I swear I'm cold-hearted🎶
🎶There's no negotiation🎶
🎶I'm not here for debatin'🎶
🎶You need some motivation?🎶
🎶Just look at Ben's face🎶
🎶Then ask yourself how long you think I'll remain patient🎶
🎶I'll throw him overboard and let him swim with killer sharks🎶
🎶You either hand over the wand or he'll be ripped apart🎶

Mal:
🎶Now, let's all just be smart🎶
🎶Although for you that must be hard🎶
🎶You'll get your wand🎶
🎶No one has to come to any harm🎶
🎶Don't try to intimidate🎶 
🎶Your bark is much worse than your bite🎶
🎶Who's the baddest of them all?🎶
🎶I guess we're finding out tonight🎶

Pirates: 
🎶Let's go, bring it on🎶
🎶Better give us what we want🎶
🎶It's the wand for the crown🎶
🎶If you don't, it's going down🎶

VKs:
🎶Let's go, make your move🎶
🎶Peace or war, it's up to you🎶
🎶Give him up and do it now🎶
🎶If you don't, it's going down🎶

Pirates:
🎶We want the wand🎶
🎶Or else the king is gone🎶
🎶Your time is running out🎶
🎶You should really watch your mouth🎶

VKs:
🎶Let's go, pound for pound🎶
🎶We're prepared to stand our ground🎶
🎶Put your swords up, put 'em up🎶
🎶It's going down🎶

Pirates:
🎶Yo-ho, ho-oh, oh-oh, make the trade🎶
🎶Yo-ho, ho-oh, oh-oh, or walk the plank🎶
🎶Yo-ho, ho-oh, oh-oh, make the trade🎶
🎶Yo-ho, ho-oh, oh-oh, or walk the plank🎶

Mal:
🎶Ok, look, this is not a conversation🎶
🎶It's a do-or-die situation🎶
🎶If you don't give me back the king🎶
🎶I'll have no hesitation🎶
🎶I'll serve you right here🎶
🎶And I don't need a reservation🎶
🎶That way your whole pirate crew can have a demonstration🎶
🎶Release him now, and we can go our separate ways🎶
🎶Unless you wanna deal with me and the VK's🎶

Uma:
🎶So that's your big speech, huh?🎶
🎶An empty ultimatum?🎶

Harry:
🎶All it takes is one swing and I'll humiliate him🎶
🎶Matter of fact, make one wrong move and I'll debilitate him🎶
🎶And if he even starts to slip, I'll eliminate him🎶
🎶All it takes is one wrong look and I'll---🎶

Uma:
Harry! We get it. Chill

Pirates:
🎶Let's go, bring it on🎶
🎶Better give us what we want🎶
🎶It's the wand for the crown🎶
🎶If you don't, it's going down🎶

VKs:
🎶Let's go, make your move🎶
🎶Peace or war, it's up to you🎶
🎶Give him up and do it now🎶
🎶If you don't, it's going down🎶

Pirates:
🎶We want the wand🎶
🎶Or else the king is gone🎶
🎶Your time is running out🎶
🎶You should really watch your mouth🎶

VKs:
🎶Let's go, pound for pound🎶
🎶We're prepared to stand our ground🎶
🎶Put your swords up, put 'em up🎶
🎶It's going down🎶

Uma:

🎶1 VK, 2 VK, 3 VK, 4. I don't know about you🎶
🎶But I know there's one more.🎶
🎶So...where is he? I'd really like to know. 🎶
🎶Seeing how he's the so-called "hero VK"🎶
🎶No one? Really? Such a shame.🎶
🎶'Cause I have some things that I'd like to say.🎶
🎶Starting with how this hero beat the Lord of the Dead?🎶
🎶Perhaps you can tell me why he left you high and dry?🎶
🎶Maybe it's 'cause he knows that you'll all fail and watch as Ben dies.🎶

I looked around at the others before a blur of black and blue landed between Mal and Uma. The black and electric-clad figure had flaming blue hair, black skull and crossbones on the back of the leather jacket and had an ancient Greek bronze double-edged sword resting on his right shoulder. "Haden." I whispered to myself. "Someone called?" He asked looking at Uma. She backed away from him. "What's the matter?" Haden asked her.

Haden V1:
🎶You wanted the Underworld's King? Well here I am.🎶
🎶Is this what you wanted?🎶
🎶To go face-to-face with me?🎶
🎶If it's not then I think that you should...🎶
🎶SHUT THE HELL UP AND START LISTENING!!🎶
🎶Uma...honey...I suggest you hand him over.🎶
🎶'Cause if you don't, I'm gonna make you feel the wrath of another king...Me!🎶

Haden V2:
🎶Aww. Look at you trying to act all big and tough.🎶
🎶Making it look like that you've had a life that was rough.🎶
🎶Let me tell you something before you leave🎶
🎶Just like the big, bad wolf that liked to huff and puff🎶
🎶I had to beat the crap out my dad just to say that "ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH!"🎶

Haden V3:
🎶And when that didn't work he nearly killed my friends and me🎶
🎶So, let me ask you something.🎶
🎶Do you really think you've had a life that was worse than me?!🎶
🎶If you still do, I suggest you think differently🎶
🎶Or do I need to write it out so you can read it clearly?🎶
🎶GIVE ME THE KING OR YOU'LL FEEL NOTHING!!🎶
🎶BUT THE PAIN OF MY OWN SUFFERING!🎶

Ben:
🎶Hey, we don't have to choose🎶
🎶We don't have to light the fuse🎶
🎶Mal, whatever you do, it's gonna be a lose-lose🎶
🎶There's gotta be a better way🎶
🎶Uma, I promise I'll give you your chance🎶
🎶You'll have your say🎶

Uma:
🎶Silly king! You? Give me?🎶
🎶You're gonna give me a chance?🎶
🎶Well, not a chance🎶

Pirates:
🎶Yo-ho, ho-oh, oh-oh, make the trade🎶
🎶Yo-ho, ho-oh, oh-oh, or walk the plank🎶
🎶Yo-ho, ho-oh, oh-oh, make the trade🎶
🎶Yo-ho, ho-oh, oh-oh, or walk the plank🎶

Mal and Uma stood face to face with one another. Haden disappeared before reappearing by my side. "Took you long enough." I said to him. "Sorry I would have been here sooner but Dr. Facilier was having a Mardi Gras Voo Doo Parade in the middle of Scar's Square." Haden answered before smirking.
